Users compete with each other through polls, predictions and trivia before, during and after the game, for the chance to win prizes such as tickets to Premier League matches and monthly rewards of up to £2,500.

All points accumulated are tallied up at the end of the season, with the users who score highest receiving grand prizes, including £20,000.

The software also includes a built-in pub finder to help fans locate their nearest establishment with a Sky Sports license.

"We're expecting Sky Sports Pub Challenge to be a big hit with people who like to watch the big games with friends down at the pub," said Sky business manager David Rey.

"The quizzes, polls and predictions really bring out people's competitive side and with prizes like weekly Barclays Premier League tickets, monthly rewards of up to £2,500 and a grand end-of-season cash prize of £20,000, it's a rewarding and sociable way for people to get into the action and make the most of match days down at their local pub."

Sky Sports Pub Challenge is now available from Google Play and the App Store. Watch a video introducing the app below:
